They sort of did. The question was asked, and the response was "no plans to sell it to a third party". Obviously a more precise answer would have been "we're just signing off on selling it to a related party".
It just won’t fucking go away, will it?
The Times piece is a bit sensationalist. The PL have been provided with our accounts and will be required to sign them off as compliant.As a part of that, they will check if the related transfer of VP was at market value. We insist it was and we're compliant.

A perfect example of how the EPL & EFL allow supposedly fit and proper persons to buy and run football clubs, run them almost into the ground like our previous chancer did and when someone comes along and restructures with real resources and funding behind them, certain Chairmen, the EPL & EFL call foul & that's not fair. I'd say they both (EPL & EFL) need to get their acts in order before pots start calling kettles black.

We’re just a big club trying to reestablish ourselves. What’s the problem EPL,EFL?The problem is jealous twats like Steve Gibson who are all too aware that they are cash poor compared to other club owners so they are banging on about overspending and how good they are at being compliant in an effort to hide the fact that they can't compete in the transfer market. Effectively small man syndrome, but he obviously won't give up, and so long as people listen to him (the press, the league, whoever), the issue won't go away.We're a perfect test case for him because we beat them in the Playoffs last year and went up this year in spite of financial hardship at the start of the season. He must have thought he'd won!
